* Summed across managers. Shares that two managers' reports both contain – a subsidiary's holdings that its parent's report includes too, or a sub-adviser's in its client's – are counted once ($3.0m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $34.31. Options: 4 managers hold calls ($3.5m notional), 2 hold puts ($508.0k).
